Employers must have gotten every lobbyist in the state to hound the legislature.
Now, do WC insurance companies try to f*ck the employee by claiming the injury either was not work-related or was only temporary? Absolutely, but that would be a problem pre-WC statutes anyway.Last edited by burd; 02-24-2024, 07:08 PM.

What caused the slip and fall? You may be able to work in a 3d party there somehow.

Just found out today Massachusetts passed a law in 2016 that you can't sue your employer for pain and suffering unless there's a 3rd party involved in your injury, like a contractor.

I guess I can understand this now. Was only in my splint and sling for 3 weeks and the range of motion for my elbow is completely out of whack. Gets a little better every day and started physical therapy to really push it (within the realm of my lifting restrictions), but if that all happened after just 3 weeks I can't imagine how bad it'd be after a longer time in a hard cast.

Originally posted by RaceBoarder View PostAs it was explained when I busted my left wrist in 2018, there is a strong push to get away from hard casts whenever possible. You want to retain movement whenever possible to limit degradation. Allowing some movement also allows things to heal better in many cases. There are also the Quality of Life factors to consider (Ex: no more shower/bath problems).
Obviously casts aren't going away, but they are no longer required equipment for any and all broken bones.

I couldn’t decide between a few threads for this one.

I don't trust almost any nutritionists in my city. I began to read a lot and learn on my own. I remember how a month ago I found a very interesting article on https://betterme.world/articles/1000-calorie-keto-diet/ . Now I often read similar articles and try out some diets that I find interesting and effective. I am satisfied now with my results and I hope it will continue to be soLast edited by jjuliajul11; 02-27-2024, 01:03 AM.

I take one prescription med for my headaches. I can only get 9 at a time. I only take when I need them. Every time I order them, the price has never been more than $10. Last month it was $5.35. I had my PCP renew the prescription at my physical on Wednesday as I was out of refills.
Picked up the prescription today, it was just under $14. Huh? Then I looked at them and it wasn’t the manufacturer I usually get so I said I wanted the kind I always get. I thought maybe that’s why the difference in price was different. I get the brand I liked - $22!!!!! OMG. I’m wondering if it’s because it’s the start of the new year or something. I need to double check and make sure when I redid my benefits my healthcare still comes with the prescription program.

Originally posted by Scarlet View PostSo, I took my mom for a second appoint at a pretty well respected memory clinic yesterday. Her memory has been in decline quite a bit the past 10 months or so. Actually longer than that but it's been more noticeable. Official diagnosis from the doctor there was Alzheimers, which I thought was different than senile dementia which is what I thought she had but based on what they said, senile dementia is a kind of Alzheimers. Or something like that. She's in the early to mid stage.
Anyway, reason for the post today - the doctor said she was eligible to take part in a clinical trial as part of her treatment. It's totally non-invasive. It's a set of headphones and glasses that people in the trial have been asked to wear for one hour a day. Apparently it's been having some success. They're on the third round of the trial. He said they're expecting FDA approval in the next couple of years. I feel like I should get more information from them, though. Like some documentation about what the trial is all about, what they expect it to do...he did explain it, but I left there empty handed. I wanted to discuss it with my brothers before agreeing to anything. My mom, of course, doesn't remember the conversation at all so I'm worried she will forget to put it on. It will require me to stay with her for the first week or so till she gets used to doing it. There are no side effects - no meds or anything. I don't see much downside. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Has anyone here ever been part of a clinical trial for anything?

I ended up getting more severely injured playing no-check beer league than I ever did playing full check in high school. Sprained MCL, 5 stitches in my chin, separated shoulder, cracked ribs (twice). The Percocet for the ribs made me hallucinate at night so I just lived with the pain.
